FAQs about our migration agents and immigration lawyers
Both immigration lawyers and migration agents can help with Australian visa applications. Immigration lawyers are qualified legal practitioners who can provide legal advice and represent you in court if needed. Migration agents are registered with MARA and specialise in visa applications. At Matilda, our immigration lawyers handle partner visa applications while our registered migration agents specialise in employer sponsored visas - so you get the right expert for your visa type.
Immigration lawyer fees vary significantly across Australia. At Matilda, we believe in transparent pricing - our fees are published on our website with no hidden costs. We offer flat fees for visa applications so you know exactly what you'll pay upfront. Plus, our no visa no fee guarantee means if your visa isn't approved, you don't pay our service fee.
While you can apply for an employer sponsored visa yourself, working with a registered migration agent significantly improves your chances of success. Employer sponsored visas (subclass 482, 186) require detailed documentation and compliance with sponsor obligations. Our MARA-registered migration agents have helped hundreds of applicants and businesses successfully navigate the employer sponsored visa process.
Partner visa applications (subclass 820/801 onshore or 309/100 offshore) require extensive evidence of your genuine relationship. While you can apply yourself, an immigration lawyer ensures your application meets all requirements and can handle any complex legal issues that arise. Our immigration lawyers specialise in partner visas.
Migration agents must hold a valid MARN (Migration Agents Registration Number)Immigration lawyers must hold an LPN (Legal Practitioner Number).
From there, look for proven success rates, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and ongoing support throughout the process. A good provider will offer a free initial consultation to assess your situation before you commit. It also helps to choose a firm that specialises in your visa type - whether that's partner visas or employer sponsored visas.
Ask about their success rate, what's included in their fee, whether they offer support after lodgement, and what happens if your visa is refused. You should also confirm they're MARA-registered and ask if they specialise in your visa category. A free eligibility check or consultation upfront is a good sign - it means they're assessing your case properly before taking you on.
Partner visa applications require extensive evidence of your genuine relationship - photos, messages, financial records, statutory declarations. An immigration lawyer reviews your documentation, identifies gaps, and ensures your application meets Department of Home Affairs requirements. They can also handle complex situations like previous visa refusals, health issues, or character concerns.
All migration agents in Australia must hold a valid MARN (Migration Agents Registration Number) issued by MARA. You can verify any agent's registration on the official MARA website. Be wary of anyone who can't provide their MARN, guarantees visa approval, or pressures you to pay before explaining their services. A legitimate agent will offer a free initial consultation, explain their fees upfront, and be transparent about your chances of success.
